74: Chapter 0074: Bad News Travels Fast 74: Chapter 0074: Bad News Travels Fast It is often said that good news doesn’t go beyond the door, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect that his expulsion from school would reach his parents so quickly.

“Mom, Dad, you really don’t need to worry.

If I wanted to go back to school tomorrow, I could.”

“Then quickly get the school to revoke your expulsion notice.”

Ye Weidong said.

These days, he felt that Ye Qiu had brought him pride.

He didn’t want to lose face so quickly.

After Ye Qiu finished the four dishes and one soup that Ye Xue had prepared, Chen Fang asked, “Are you going back to school?”

“Mom, I still need to take Liu Lingxiu.”

“You are quite proactive when it comes to Lingxiu.”

Chen Fang chuckled.

However, Ye Xue was somewhat unhappy, thinking that Ye Qiu could stay at the store and work with her instead of going to school.

But Ye Qiu still wanted to take Liu Lingxiu.

After dinner, Ye Qiu informed his parents and then biked over to Liu Lingxiu’s house.

Liu Lingxiu was already waiting at home for Ye Qiu.

Her parents knew about his expulsion but Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong didn’t say anything.

Ye Qiu arrived at Liu Lingxiu’s doorstep.

She came out and got on the bike, and Ye Qiu rode towards Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School.

Under the teaching building of Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School, Ye Qiu said, “After prep class, I’ll come to take you back.”

After Liu Lingxiu went up, Su Luoluo saw her enter alone.

For some reason, seeing the empty seat beside her, she felt a sense of emptiness.

Maybe she had long gotten used to Ye Qiu’s presence.

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming knew that Ye Qiu had already arrived.

The two slipped out through the back door and went downstairs.

Sure enough, they saw Ye Qiu.

“Ye Qiu, let’s go to the internet cafe.”

The three headed to the Sina Internet Cafe near the school.

When they got there, they each recharged ten yuan.

While Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming played games, Ye Qiu continued to sit there and watch movies.

Before they knew it, time flew by, and it was already 10:30 p.m.

Ye Qiu returned to the teaching building and saw Liu Lingxiu coming down.

Su Luoluo was also behind.

She didn’t expect Ye Qiu hadn’t gone to the classroom but had been picking up and dropping off Liu Lingxiu the whole time.

This made her very unhappy.

As Liu Lingxiu and Ye Qiu chatted and walked towards the school gate, Su Luoluo saw Liu Lingxiu sit on Ye Qiu’s rear bike rack, holding his waist intimately.

As Ye Qiu biked away, Su Luoluo gritted her teeth in anger and muttered, “I originally wanted him to return to school sooner, never mind, I won’t bother with him anymore.”

When Ye Qiu biked Liu Lingxiu home, she said, “Ye Qiu, if you don’t want to go to school tomorrow, you don’t have to pick me up.

I can take the bus by myself.”

“I’ll still come to pick you up.

I don’t have much to do anyway.”

Ye Qiu biked back to the congee and noodle shop.

It was already past eleven at night.

He saw his parents and sister still busy and knew that it was high time to change the current situation and stop letting them toil so hard.

“Sis, how long will you be busy?”

“Probably until one or two o’clock.”

Ye Xue said.

“Ye Qiu, if you’re tired, go get some rest early.”

Ye Qiu wasn’t feeling tired.

He needed to cultivate the Primordial Five Emperors Technique, and now nearing midnight was when the moonlight was at its most essence, speeding up cultivation considerably.

However, his parents and sister were still busy.

So, Ye Qiu stayed to help.

Around 1 a.m., with hardly any customers left, Ye Weidong packed up the barbecue stand and closed the congee and noodle shop.

The family of four walked back to the old neighborhood.

At this time, the old neighborhood was quiet, occasionally seeing people coming back from night shifts.

When Ye Qiu, his sister, and parents went upstairs, Ye Qiu first went to bathe, then returned to his room to sit on the mat and continue absorbing the moonlight essence.

Early the next morning, when Ye Qiu opened his eyes, it was already past eight.

Thinking that Liu Lingxiu might still be waiting for him, Ye Qiu hurriedly got up to wash and then went downstairs.

Just arriving downstairs, the old neighborhood’s residents, seeing Ye Qiu, asked, “Ye Qiu, we heard you got expelled from school?”

“Does this mean you can’t take the college entrance exam?”

…

Ye Qiu had long expected this.

Some residents gloated, some felt sorry.

But most thought that if he was expelled and couldn’t take the college entrance exam, it wouldn’t be much different from before.

As he walked towards the congee and noodle shop, he encountered Butcher He, Li Lanfang, and He Xiaoqing.

Seeing Ye Qiu, He Xiaoqing seemed very awkward.

However, Li Lanfang felt very happy upon learning that Ye Qiu was expelled.

So, after accidentally hearing about Ye Qiu’s fight with a classmate and forcing the classmate to eat poop, which got him expelled from Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School, she spread the news everywhere.

Now, everyone in the old neighborhood and even the nearby vegetable vendors knew about Ye Qiu’s expulsion.

Though Ye Qiu had no grudge against her, he dared to look down on her daughter and break their engagement, which made her very unhappy.

The better Ye Qiu performed, the more upset she felt.

Conversely, his downfall made her very happy.

Now that Ye Qiu was expelled, unable to take the college entrance exam, Li Lanfang felt even happier, thinking it was better for her daughter not to be with someone like him.

Ye Qiu didn’t know all this and just passed by the three quickly, hurrying towards the congee and noodle shop.

Seeing him, Ye Xue wanted to make him a bowl of beef noodles.

“Sis, no breakfast for me.

Lingxiu is waiting.”

Ye Qiu got on his bike and rushed towards Liu Lingxiu’s house.

Watching him, Chen Fang sighed, “This kid really likes Lingxiu and treats her well.”

Ye Qiu arrived at Liu Lingxiu’s house, and it was almost 9 a.m.

Liu Lingxiu was already up but hadn’t gone to school, mainly waiting for Ye Qiu to pick her up.

Ye Qiu had promised to come.

Though there weren’t many classes at school now, mostly self-study, being late or early didn’t matter much.

Hearing Ye Qiu’s bike bell, Liu Lingxiu quickly grabbed her books, got on Ye Qiu’s rear bike rack without saying much, and he rode towards Jiangbei No.

3 Middle School.

Arriving under the teaching building, Liu Lingxiu went upstairs while Ye Qiu left the campus.

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming quickly came down and caught up with Ye Qiu from behind.

“Not going to the internet cafe again?”

Ye Qiu asked.

“Qiu, playing games is super fun!”

Li Shen said.

“How about billiards?”

Ye Qiu suggested.

They remembered Ye Qiu’s performance at Cai Gang’s place yesterday.

Though they often played billiards, they thought playing with Ye Qiu could be great, hoping he would teach them.
